Christina Sanchez came ready to do battle with Jose Reyes — literally.

The baby mama of Reyes' 8-year-old daughter Liyah showed up for her ongoing child support case with the Mets star in Nassau County on Tuesday afternoon, but wound up in a parking lot dust-up with two women over what appeared to be a road rage incident, then got arrested for being in possession of a set of brass knuckles.

Sanchez was supposed to have met her attorney, Steven Gilden, outside a Starbucks 50-yards from the courthouse before her 2 p.m. court date, we're told. But when Sanchez arrived, she was spotted shouting angrily with two women for reasons that remain unclear. She got back into her car, though according to one source, the other women continued splashing the car with coffee and pounding on the vehicles doors.

When police arrived, Sanchez was taken in for misdemeanor charges of "menacing and criminal possession of a weapon." We're told the other two participants in the melee were not taken into custody. We're also told that there was no physical contact between Reyes and the two women and the brass knuckles were not used.

"Obviously Christina was unable to appear at 2 p.m. for the court appearance, however Jose Reyes didn't appear either," according to Gilden, who confirms the story and tells us that he had planned to call Reyes as his first witness. Gilden tells us that Reyes' attorneys asked that the case be dismissed, which the judge denied before re-scheduling hearing for Dec. 13.

According to Sanchez's attorney, authorities decided to charge his client with a misdemeanor and released her Tuesday evening. She will appear in criminal court next month with regards to that case.

On Monday night, Reyes' other 8-year-old daughter Josephine Reyes, whose mom Katherine married the Met in 2008, sang the National Anthem at Citi Field prior to the Mets matchup with the Atlanta Braves.
